Batch file in windows environment.

[PVerburg]

I have been reading for days and am lost on what is supported under script:\\ in a windows environment.
can I call a batch file don't look like it, do I have to use lua to call cmd/batch.
Or is there no support under windows/dos OS.

I'm not strong in unix and run some dos only based sensors "watts clever" power meter so like to stay with windows at this stage.

Thanks,

Paul V.

Yes you can. Do this from the On/Off actions fields and use something like

Code: Select all

script://c:\users\<user name>\<bat name>.bat

windows.png (46.41 KiB) Viewed 1253 times

Code: Select all

C:\Users\XXXX>more ff.bat
timeout 8
echo hi > c:\users\XXXX\ff.txt

C:\Users\XXXX>more ff.txt
hi

C:\Users\XXXX>dir ff.txt
 Volume in drive C has no label.
 Volume Serial Number is FCAE-F424

 Directory of C:\Users\XXXX

10-06-2019  00:06                 5 ff.txt
               1 File(s)              5 bytes

Thanks, that worked the problem was that the sound command won't work when called in a batch file like that.
will experiment with different options i'm sure i will find the cause.
